Intended Use
The Aeroneb® Professional Nebulizer System is a portable medical device for multiple patient use that is intended to aerosolize physician-prescribed solutions for inhalation to patients on and off ventilation and other positive pressure breathing assistance. The Aeroneb Pro is suitable for use in adult and pediatric patients as described in the Instruction Manual.
Device Description
The Aeroneb® Professional Nebulizer System is a multiple patient reusable pulmonary drug delivery system that incorporates Aerogen's proprietary aerosol generator technology for continuous nebulization of drugs to patients. The Aeroneb Pro is designed to be used with mechanical ventilators and pressurized breathing systems as well as by spontaneously breathing patients. It is intended for multiple patient use and is autoclavable. The nebulizer can be placed in the inspiratory limb of a ventilator circuit or used with a mask or mouthpiece. The Aeroneb Pro operates without changing patient ventilatory parameters, can be refilled without interrupting ventilation, and can be powered by AC/DC adapter or internal rechargeable battery. Because the Aeroneb Pro operates without compressed gas and can be battery-powered, it is also suitable for use during patient transport.
More Information

None

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical aspects of drug delivery via nebulization and does not mention any AI or ML components.

Yes
The device is intended to aerosolize physician-prescribed solutions for inhalation, which means it delivers medication to treat a medical condition in patients, aligning with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a "pulmonary drug delivery system" intended to aerosolize physician-prescribed solutions for inhalation, indicating a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as an aerosol generator, battery, AC/DC adapter, and the ability to be autoclavable, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Aeroneb® Professional Nebulizer System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "aerosolize physician-prescribed solutions for inhalation to patients". This describes a therapeutic delivery system, not a device used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanism of drug delivery (aerosolization) and its use with patients and breathing systems. It does not mention any analysis of biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "pulmonary", which is the target for the delivered medication, not the source of a diagnostic sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Aeroneb® Professional Nebulizer System is a therapeutic medical device for drug delivery, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical performance tests were conducted comparing Aeroneb Pro to the Aeroneb Portable Nebulizer System and SUN 145. Evaluation of performance included nebulizer delivery characterization, electrical, mechanical, and EMC safety, were based on those suggested in the FDA CDRH - REVIEWER GUIDANCE FOR NEBULIZERS, METERED DOSE INHALERS, SPACERS AND ACTUATORS issued on: October 1, 1993. The successful tests demonstrated the device consistently performed within its design parameters, is as safe and effective, and performs as well as, or better than, the predicate devices.
